The very same commentators that spent years condemning anti-semitism in UK politics as a major national scandal, have suddenly lost interest now that it implicates one of their own

Reform UK campaigned during the local elections on a platform of them being the solution. Now reality has hit its becoming clear they had no idea…

Never trust Reform UK.

Yes, Reform's Events Co-ordinator called LGBT people nonces, but who hasn't when they've had a few drinks? After all, that's when we say what we really think.

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

Listen mate, you seem to have a track record of cheating to get your ‘wins’ and then your ‘wins’ turn out to be a pile of shit for everyone else… see Brexit, see Reform council uselessness.
WhyTF should you be rewarded for anything? You represent failure

@gemmagould.bsky.social Just had a moment in a Spanish gas station… the girl behind the counter noticed my Free Palestine bracelet and said she loved that I was wearing it. I played her our Palestine song. She was in tears Gem 😢❤️

Good morning all! This guy, Tim, thinks the hunger strikers imprisoned over Palestine Action should be kicked out of the country (at least I think that’s what the illiterate racist wrote.) We have to shame these twats at every turn. To that end, I’ve modified his profile pic. #SorryNotSorry

Brilliant piece by @labourlewis.bsky.social on why the Nigel Farage racism allegations matter.

If we end up rewarding a politics based on the instincts of a racist schoolyard bully, we should't be surprised at what follows bylinetimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

The idea of the 'public intellectual' has been degraded to the point of hilarity or horror in recent years, so it's great to see an interview with someone who is actually just old and wise (helps that she's a birder, too):

We despair that the rightwing keep shifting the Overton Window further right. They never suggest that leaving the ECHR is impossible or not the right time. They just demand it. And we end up discussing it.
It’s time the left pushed back.
Not put up ‘can’t do’ barriers to our own hopes and aims.

🚨BREAKING🚨

MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.

The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win.
With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man

Don’t forget, no matter how much Nigel Farage tries to shape Reform UK’s economic policy to win votes, at heart he’s a disaster capitalist.
